Custom Shadow Tank - Panther

Post by The Kraken Wakes »

Custom Red Shadow Tank - cant think of a better name right now, have been working on this since late last year, think Jim and Steve saw it after November Memorabilia but sorted the last bit out today. Apologies for the poor pics, they have come out a bit crimson, driver should be done tomorrow.

Its a Gi Joe Panther on a heavily modded Lanard Corps Rhino track base. Had a lot of dremelling to make it fit but think it works pretty well...

thanks - one of the crew should be done tomorrow, just waiting for the legs to dry at the moment and need to find a torso for the other.

Really excellent looking piece of Shadow hardware. Got to be custom of the month surely?
